JOurn was TepedC6u, ana Wn6ll Tie senate
adjourned Senators Pope and Edwards saw
that good opportunity for the concurrence
in the joint resolution for the support of the
interstate commerce bill had been lost
They had done their best to get the senate
resolution through, and supposed it had
gone before the house. but its progress had
been retarded, as it had to be engroSsed.
When the passage of the house resolution
was announced, nobody seemed to know
what to do.
THEIR SECOND WIND.
Flood of Bills and a Cyclone of
OratOry in the House.
The members of the lower house seemed
to have gotten their second wind, after
three days recess, and the manner in which
they introduced new bills late in the after
noon yesterday, was sufficient to make the
clerks rustic and fill the reporters with
fear that they would miss their SupperS
There was a constant grind for over two
hours and it was near O'Clock when an
adjournment was taken. The fun began
by the Introduction of a lot of petitions
asking that the sale of liquor be prohibited;
that books be furnished by the state free to
public school scholars; that scholars in the
public schools be taught the effects of
alcohol and strong drinks. The petitions
were introduced by Donnelly, Jones, of
Redwood, Mobiles, Costello, Hurd and
Walstrom. The clerks totals showed about
500 signatures to the petitions. Notice of
contest by II. G. Merrill, Of Hennepin
county. for the seat now occupied by NJ.
Gross, was filed. Merrill claims his cleo
ton by four majority. Flynn, of Morri
